Long View

This is a view from The Beehive in Acadia NP. The phrase that comes to mind for me is “The long view.” There are trees in the foreground and coastline and islands in the distance.

The long view is an interesting phrase. It is often used in investing, meaning not to worry about the short term ups and downs associated with many investments but rather focus on the expected return over many years. This same idea applies to many areas of our lives – education, relationships, health/fitness and especially spirituality.

The End

A Greek philosopher once said that “you cannot step into the same river twice.” That seems to be an apt thought at the end of the calendar year. We will not experience anything exactly the same as we did this past year.

I picked this photo of the sunset for my last reflection of the year. Just as evening is a good time to reflect of the day, this is a good time to reflect on the past year. Where have you encountered God during the year?

Long Time

This photo was taken just south of Medora on the Maah Daah Hey Trail which is a 144-mile single track trail that winds through the Little Missouri National Grasslands.The trail extends through the South Unit almost to the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt NP.

Maah Daah Hey is a phrase from the Mandan Indians meaning “will be around for a long time.” That’s an interesting concept, a “long time.” We are told that to God, 1000 years are as a day (2 Peter 3:8). I can’t imagine what would seem a long time to God.
